It isn't, he enjoyed his life while on earth. The only people feeling the pain are his loved ones. He didn't.

Is he a wike man?. The God is gradually removing them off Nigeria. May his soul rest in peace

That u think "removing them from earth" is a negative occurrence is even more silly

U think the dead are aware of anything??


Death is a transition to a state of not being, it is not a bad happening

Life is funny

He eats healthily
Exercises
Does medical checkup each months
But somehow, his death had to come via another means


Well..in 200years to now, most would not even be aware of our existence


Thank God, Death is a peaceful state full of bliss

Stop wasting your time on them. Blogging should be the first thing to be regulated by half baked wannabe journalists who do not understand the profession. They are amazed. They thought They will see gory pictured of a plane crash and blood the way they splash pictures stoopidly in Nigeria. They have no decency and think it's everything that will be posted

Only in Naija they publish such pictures during accident…..with blood everywhere, burnt bodies, etc. It is very wrong!

BTW, I have watched the video of the crash

No actual video. The crash reportedly happened at night...dark! Hard to get live video. Just news videos here and there. But you can watch the new video update from U.S Authorities
